Points saillants
Good skiing today. Wind slabs in the alpine. We are at a transition where natural avalanches have slowed down, yet human triggered avalanches are still a concern.

The Jan 6th surface hoar is down 100cm and the Dec 15 is down 120cm. Any slide on these layers would produce large avalanches.

One size 2 avalanche was noticed near the summit of Mount Nestor.
Snowpack Summary
The recent HST has settled to 40-50cm. Wind slabs are present on all aspects in the alpine. Jan 6 SH was found down 90cm at 2000m with no results; yet it was very reactive one valley over two days ago. We have low confidence in adventuring into big terrain.
